- Cruising the Fjords | Cunard Queen Anne Vlogs | Episode 5: Olden, Norway
Welcome to Episode 5 of our Queen Anne Norwegian Fjords cruise series! 🚢
Today, we're exploring the charming port of Olden, Norway-a spot we absolutely love. Whether it's your first time or your fiftieth, Olden never ceases to amaze with its stunning beauty and easy-to-access excursions.
In this episode, we start by sharing our experience with the Thermal Suite onboard, which we pre-purchased for $199 per person for a full cruise pass, including a 50-minute massage.
For our Olden excursion, we opted for a relaxing ride on the land train. It's the perfect way to take in the breath-taking scenery while learning about the area’s rich history. The best part? You won’t miss a photo op-there are plenty of stops along the way for those incredible fjord views.
After our excursion, we soaked up some sun and cooled off with a dip in the pool. The weather was unexpectedly hot, which made the pool all the more inviting.
As we prepared to leave Olden, Captain Hudson announced a change in our itinerary due to incoming bad weather. Instead of calling at Haugesund tomorrow, we’ll be treated to a scenic sailing along the stunning Hardangerfjord. While we’re sad to miss Haugesund, we’re excited for a day of fjord cruising!
Of course, no departure from Olden would be complete without a festive sail away! Locals waved us off and we couldn’t resist joining in the fun.
Later, we dined at Tramonto, Queen Anne’s new Mediterranean specialty restaurant. For $18 per person (plus a small supplement for some elevated dishes), we enjoyed a fantastic meal.
Finally, we wrapped up the night with one of Cruise Monkeys Luke's favourite cruise activities-a silent disco! If you haven’t tried it yet, you must. It’s the perfect way to let loose and have some holiday fun!

“I’m not drinking anymore red wine 🍷🍷…….well , maybe a brief pause “ …..🤣fantastic …
Hahaha 🤣
Norway is AMAZING as you say, we love Olden too. Great vlog guys, Queen Anne looks fantastic, booked on her in 2026.
It really is! You’ll love it!
Going ro be there in May 2025. Can't wait to see it all in person. Thanks for making this video. Helps me plan what I really want to do.
Glad it’s a help
Thanks for reminding me of how stunning Olden is!
Didn't consider taking the train before, but it looks like a quick hassle-free option for a future cruise.
It absolutely bucketed down when we left the port. You were so so lucky!
One of these days I'll relax and take a spa day!
Tr-tr-tomato-tramonto looks gorgeous. You crack me up! 😂
Thanks for a great video! 😍
We love olden and a few things like this train you can just do on spur of the moment - always nice not having to plan! It’s a lovely ride - you could also walk it if you wanted to and had the weather! Food on this cruise was fab! Glad we are informative and entertaining 😀
Great vlog we did the land train in Olden after the Briksdal Glacier, lovely views , great vlog Guys 😊
Thank you 😀
I really love your vlogs. You have so much fun and I feel that I'm tagging along . We are on QA later this year. After so much doom and gloom on the Facebook sites regarding QA you have redressed the balance. Thank you soooo much.
Thank you - that’s the exact feel we’re after! Lots of doom and gloom but don’t let that bother you. We never let the small things bother us, we’re there to enjoy 😀
Olden looks wonderful. Thanks for the tips re tours available, definitely much better bet than very expensive trips by the cruise line. Hope we get as good weather next June!
It’s stunning! Yeah, diy in olden is the way to go
Awesome vlogs guys. We love the honesty and humour and of course a tipple or two 🍸
Happy cruising 🥂
Thanks so much!
Another great video x
Thanks so much!
I enjoyed that! I was in Olden in May on the Sky Princess & we skipped Haugesund because of bad weather, & had a day of scenic fjord cruising.
Fjord cruising is good!
Hi Cruise Monkeys! We've been following your channel for a long time now and we absolutely love your vlogs, in fact, you even inspired us to create our own little vlogs of our recent cruise. We thought Norway was beautiful and you really capture it here. We love your personalities and your positive up-beat vibes! Keep up the great Cruise Content! Wishing all the best
Awww thank you for your kind words, we really appreciate them and great to hear we’ve inspired you, it’s a great way to capture memories 🥰
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Hope to do this trip someday. It has become my new bucket list destination.❤
Fjords are stunning

Olden is amazing - especially Skylift... Would like try train but accessible???

Going on Queen Anne in Sep 2025
Not sure on the train sorry!
Hope you are well 🍻
@CruiseMonkeys the little train is called a Dotto Train lol 😊😊
Ohhh good to know 🥰
We was on holiday in Greece recently and we went to our first silent disco and had a great time. Love watching your videos they always make me laugh take care Rita x
Awww glad we make you laugh!
Hi both,
You had lovely weather in Norway, enjoyed watching your time on Queen Anne,we have just got off her! Went to late disco in Bright Lights, wish it started earlier than 11.30pm😅
We were so lucky with the weather! Hope you had a fab time on Anne! Not sure what time the shows finish in bright lights, know there is two so they probably have to get it ready after that?
Great Vlog Guys enjoy the Lady
Thanks so much - oh we will!
Love you guys 🥰 just wondering are there drinks packages available on Cunard xx
Yes, from $72pppd!
Great video guys. We took the bus to Loen and the cable car (which I think you’ve done on a previous cruise). My God, weren’t we so lucky with the gorgeous weather!
The cable car in Loen is amazing
great video guys!! Were you ripped off because you were on a Cunard ship?? I was there the day before you and did the Olden train and I paid £15.00 (200 NOK)! have still got my ticket ❤️ at 12.22 on video Luke said you paid £26 each!! xxx
Yea, it sounds like we were! Just checked and it was £52 on the card! Going to keep an eye out next time we go back to see how much they say then.
@@CruiseMonkeysI CANNOT WAIT to go back, my all time favourite port now ❤
I always thought it was cold and wet in norway
Ohhh we’ve been lucky and has stunning weather in Norway
Love a spa area tour, but always wonder on the ships why people do not sit or lay on the towrel as you would on land. Is the whole purpose to get the swaet in the towel instead of in the benches. 🤢
Glad you enjoyed the tour!
